The best way to take advantage of VMware Application Catalog (Bitnami) is as in the case I mentioned, that you constantly implement these free software, where any time saved is important in terms of installation, configuration and testing environment, it really is a very useful solution, also if you need a good community and support; however the cloud and VMs solutions is not designed for huge products, these can be slow or remain insufficient if the use of these grows a lot, even though it is an easy-to-use product, you need to have enough knowledge in terms of installation and management of cloud solutions, a beginner can find himself in trouble

Cons
Oracle
  • One of the areas where we found Glassfish adaptation difficult for our company was the lack of documentation and community forums covering important issues.
  • We ran into a roadblock with OAuth 2.0 implementation and did not get great support on that issue.

  • Possibility to configure the implementation through mobile devices
  • Sometimes the performance of the VMs is slower than expected

Most of it is intuitive. I think some of the awkwardness is found by new users who are unfamiliar with other software applications.

Return on Investment
Oracle
  • Glassfish which initially spun off from an Open Source project has a community edition which is free to use and offers great ROI.
  • In comparison to cloud offerings like AWS and Google App Engine, Glassfish requires more cost upfront for installation and management.

  • We save a lot of time implementing the apps, less engineers working on this phase
  • The upgrade process of the apps can be a pain and a waste valuable time
  • The mains options of the VMware Application Catalog (Bitnami) are free so is important for save money in our organization
